Dra,

Scarcity in a capitalist system. There needs to be a class prepared to do shit jobs.

psivchaz,

I mean, until we get much better at robotics there will always be shit jobs. The key is just that the people who do them should also probably be able to live a decent life without having to worry about how they’ll eat or have shelter or survive if they get sick.

Jyek,

Thanks powerbottomdad1

abraxas,

Total rimjobsteve memory, there.

I had major health problems in my early 20s and it fucked my whole life. So I get you. I have not had a good run at all.

Bluehat, (edited )

Lol I just had my dog almost randomly die and after saving her life I also randomly ended up in the hospital for a week - both unrelated events 🙃

maxFapper,

WTF is the L?!

How does everyone else seem to know what it is?

Overland,

Taking an L = taking a loss / losing.

Its slang / an expression.

Thank you for making the internet user-friendly instead of exclusive. You deserve to contribute.

moriquende,

Being terminally online has to be good for something

doingthestuff,

Im guessing you don’t like sports? W/L is pretty universal for win/loss and I don’t really watch any sports. Taking an L is at least in the US a culturally pervasive expression.

ted,

WTF is “fapper”?!

How does everyone else seem to know what it is?

1847953620,

wtf is a “Cleveland Steamer”?!

How does everyone else seem to know what it is?

funkless_eck,

wtf is “love”?!

baby don’t hurt me. don’t hurt me. no more.

The Loss.

Cosmos7349,

And even if you play perfectly, you still might be fucked if the other lanes all feed

moriquende,

fucking Yasuo

DragonTypeWyvern,

He’s going for the power spike

Matriks404,

My life is essentially:

  • Don’t have huge financial and career expectations.
  • Be healthy and self-improve.
  • For fucks sake don’t get into debt.
  • Do not commit crime.
  • At least try to work for good of society (or just not make things worse I guess).

And that’s enough for me, and I recommend at least following first 3 points for good enough life without much stress (and last 2 if you’re not an asshole).

thenofootcanman,

In what country does breaking the law make you an asshole?

Arthur_Leywin,

Murder is kinda rude.

GortexGary,

Murder is just one crime. There are a bunch of crimes that are definitely bullshit. Maybe just “Don’t hurt others.”??

DragonTypeWyvern,

The point is to live a life without stress.

Criminal convictions are stressful.

PersonalDevKit,

I would imagine this person is being more general. Don’t steal Don’t kill That sort of stuff.

Not your standard level minor tax evasion, illicit drug consumption, that one time you did 80 in a 50 zone but hey you were really late for that important meeting.

thenofootcanman,

I mean speeding and tax evasion does make you an asshole. But it just seemed a weird thing for them to call out

Well I’ve got one down

HorseWithNoName,

Well aren’t you special

Drusas,

Or someone else can fuck it up for you!

@Jimbo@yiffit.net avatar

And during that fuck up your brain isn’t even fully developed and the people giving you advice may or may not know know what they’re talking about

Buffaloaf,

Yep, anyways back to paying those student loans

redballooon,

But if you fuck it up, you’ll always have someone coming back with a ‘told you so’.

LEV already please and thanks

Edit: it’s longevity escape velocity I definitely shouldn’t abbreviate it

surewhynotlem,

You and me both

Jimmycrackcrack,

What’s LEV?

robotica,

They clearly mean the currency of Bulgaria

jcg,

The preferred currency when accidentally buying a horse

VikingHippie,

Rather than stealing one like most horse owners did?

HerbalGamer,

No no, rather than renting it for 50 minutes because the horse needs a break.

Valmond,

Could be Longevity Escape Velocity.

The theory that in one point in time, science will help us live longer say a couple of years, and during that time, science will find out how to make us live some more years etc until we can live how long time we want to.

Some people think we’re already there BTW.

Zink,
@Zink@pawb.social avatar

Yeah, maybe I shoulda clarified :/

Valmond,

So was it that you meant :-D ?

Zink,
@Zink@pawb.social avatar

Ye

Valmond,

So where do people interested in longevity hang out?

I’m a longtime fan, but with the exception to a discord for a while, it seems people are not very interested.

Zink,
@Zink@pawb.social avatar

Beats me. r/longevity was the largest group I found, but I don’t frequent there any more for rather obvious reasons.

Valmond,

Yeah it wasn’t exactly brilliant on Reddit and people have the weirdest repulsion towards longevity. Sigh.

Zink,
@Zink@pawb.social avatar

I really don’t get the debate against even just living longer…

The point of longevity isn’t to have a rambling grape, it’s to have people stay in their prime for significantly longer time. This means anything you could want to do then would be avaliable. With optimal mind too, imagine the spike in development of technology. Maybe the singularity or something, and all of a sudden anything anyone imagines can be done. It’ll be a world of dreams, and surely dreams can’t get boring, right?

Valmond,

Exactly!

It’s so infuriating, it’s like people have some brain-fog or irrational fear for “living well”…

Okay you have cancer, you are dying in 3 years, except if you take this pill.

-“Ok! Gimme!!”

Here is a pill that will make you look younger, but will take away 3 years of your life.

-“Oh yes please gimme right away!!”

But roll back effects of old age? Oh no… what a horror, right.

Omgarm,

Please explain abbreviations that aren’t universally known.

VikingHippie,

Let Everyone Vote? Lemmy Electric Vehicles? Lose Every Ventricle?

Meowoem,

Life Evacuation Valve, he’s saying we should all get one installed

VikingHippie,

No thanks, I’m still holding out for the cybernetic forehead penis.

shalafi,

the basic monetary unit of Bulgaria, equal to 100 stotinki.

VikingHippie,

I’ll give them 69 stotinki and that’s it!
